If an interview with the son of
jailed Mafia boss of bosses Toto' Riina goes ahead Wednesday
night on State broadcaster RAI's Raiuno channel flagship talk
show Porta a Porta "we will have confirmation that Porta a Porta
lends itself to being the salon of denial of the Mafia," the
chair of the parliamentary anti-mafia commission, Rosy Bindi,
said Wednesday.
"I hope there is a rethink by RAI," she said, saying that
she will ask her committee's office to call the president and
director-general of RAI to the commission if the interview goes
ahead.
Last summer Porta a Porta sparked a storm of criticism by
interviewing members of the Rome mafia Casamonica clan during a
row over the lavish Godfather-style funeral of boss Vittorio
Casamonica, and allegedly treating them sympathetically.
